Myron Mixon on Leno tonite!!

reelgem

Just thought I'd let everyone that Myron Mixon is going to be on Leno tonite. I haven't met him yet but I will in Feb. when I take his class. He's really put competition BBQ on the map as well as the other teams on the Pitmasters. From all I've heard from people that personally know him he is a great guy, has a heart as big as Alaska and is very talented. It's not a fluke when you win 3 World Championships. You should take how he's portrayed on the TLC Pitmasters with a grain of salt, it's reality TV.

Anne, I hope you'll let us know what he's like after you take his class and meet him in person, because he came across like a first class arrogant a**hole on the Pitmasters show.

We took a class with him at the BGE headquarters over the summer, he couldn't have been any nicer. I think he puts on a big show for the cameras.

Bacchus

Network? Time?

I have reliable sources that know him personally and he's a great guy. I will definitely give a report with pictures from my class Mark.

reelgem

I positively agree with you on that one. I'll be anxious to see how he is in on Leno tonite.

reelgem

It's on at 9:00 CST on NBC.

Ya know, I just have to wonder about Mixon. I keep reading here that "it's just reality TV". That it's scripted. Of course it is. But I have to ask why anyone who IS a nice guy would ALLOW themselves to be portrayed, for the world to see, as such an ass? Maybe those who have met him think he's terrific. Those of us who haven't have nothing but his "performances" to go by.

reelgem

I'll find out first hand soon enough.

I've only seen two shows, but he seems like a Class A jerk. Arrogant is okay to a point, but come on! He put down a fellow competitor because he "only" won 2 world championships versus his own 3? Damn well wanted to damn well pee on his damn brisket.

Good to know that he is a good guy.

But I loved it when he came in 70something at the KC Invitational.

Reality TV at it's finest.

Carolina Q

Ron, that would be 10 ET. :evil:

thirdeye

A real what?? Hehehee. I wonder if he'll take his TLC Pitmaster role to Leno's show?

reelgem

Sorry Ron, I should've been more specific....10pm your time. :laugh: :woohoo:

Carolina Q

Tell him, if he is not an ass, to stop playing one on TV.

reelgem

Michael, I'll leave that up to you. You can send him and email at www.jacksoldsouth.com.

Nature Boy

Just a thought...maybe he wouldn't be on the Leno show if he didn't act like an ass on TV?

It's America after all. People eat this kinda stuff up. I wouldn't act like that on TV either, but that doesn't mean it's not effective. Here we are talking about Myron!

Food for thought anyways.
Beers!

Mark, he is a very helpful and knowledgable person. He has a big peronality but not like the editors portray him.

Chubby

You're right on the money Chris!

He puts on the show they're paying him to do!!

Good point Chris!

TXTriker

I'd rather talk about Chris. Speaking of Chris, across the aisle from someone was a Dizzy Pig banner on the current Pitmaster show. Look for it.

Carolina Q

Aw, come on, Anne. Where's your sense of adventure?! It would be so much more effective in person.

reelgem

Thanks Evie!! Glad to get some feedback from the President and CEO of Grate Mates.

Bacchus

Nature Boy

Straight across from Tuffy Stone, "Cool Smoke".

Who is the young kid that finishes last all the time? Who helped him? I like that guy. What I found most interesting, people with turn-in boxes looking for cooks that have won. What confidence. I have so much to learn.

His name is Paul, he's from somewhere in TX. I have no idea why they put him in the show.

reelgem

I was there at the Dizzy Pig camp during the Royal. We were sitting and watching them film Tuffy. Pretty cool!
